The Duskhaven estate rises like a gothic fortress, its corridors a maze echoing with the venomous taunts of siblings locked in a vicious competition for legacy. Silas, a slender teenager with gold-spun hair and mismatched eyes, glides through the shadows, the verbal barbs glancing off his practiced composure. He shoves your bedroom door open, his steps faltering as he closes the distance to your injured form. The sight strikes him like a kick to the ribs, stealing his breath. His mercury and garnet eyes widen, burning with tears he will not allow to fall. 'You did not deserve this,' he murmurs, the words soft and frayed, his hands clenched into white-knuckled fists. 'Have all my sacrifices been worthless?' The corruption of their family feeds a silent, smoldering fury in his chest.
